2001-2004 Audi A6 4B C5 Single-Frame front bumper HF 7551 Installation Guide

1. Removal of the original bumper:
Remove all screws which hold the bumper. Also remove the screws which hold the alloy bar and remove the bumper with the alloy bar. Remove the alloy bar from the bumper and install it into the new Hofele-Design bumper.
2. Placement of the Hofele-Design front bumper on the car:
Place the new bumper on the car but do not yet bolt it on.
3. Preparation of the bonnet:
Remove the front grill and the rubber strap behind it. Install the front grill (HF 7052-S4 / RS4) in the extension piece.
4. Placement of the extension piece:
Place the extension piece onto the bonnet/hood and fix it with adhesive tape. Align the front grill so that there is an even slit between bumper and grill.
5. Screwing of the bumper:
After the correct alignment of bumper and front grill you can screw the bumper. Therefore drill two holes with 10mm diameter into the bumper and 8mm diameter into the alloy bar. Then cut a M8 thread into the holes. Use the delivered screws + washers to screw the bumper.
6. Gluing of extension piece and bonnet/hood:
Mark the correct position of the extension piece with adhesive tape. Sand the surface and clean it afterwards. Then apply the special glue (part of delivery) to the extension piece. Place the extension piece on the bonnet/hood and fix it with adhesive tape until the glue is completely dry (at least 24 hours).
7. Painting of bumper + bonnet/hood:
After the glue is completely dry the gap between extension piece and bonnet/hood can be filled, smoothed and the parts can be painted.
8. Final mounting:
Insert OEM components like the headlight washers, fog lights and parking sensors, all necessary holders are in the bumper. For cars without headlight washers the OEM caps are needed to seal the openings for the washers. You can get these caps at your local Audi dealer or order them directly at Hofele-Design (HF 7555). Then install the new front bumper, insert the fog light mesh (HF 7456-RS4) and install the longer bonnet/hood opener (part of delivery).
